1. Photosynthesis A process performed by autotrophs
Produces FOOD (glucose) for the cells
Balanced Chemical Equation:

2. Structure of a CHLOROPLAST:
Describe the structures 2

3. First Part = Light Reactions

4. Light Reactions *Electrons are energized
Location: Thylakoid Membranes
What Happens: Photo System 11 & Photo System 1
*Light is absorbed
*Electrons are energized
*Electrons are passed to a transport chain
*Water is split (photolysis)
*Oxygen is released as a byproduct
*H ions released combined with NADP to become NADPH (escort molecule)
*ATP is made

5. Second part = Calvin Cycle

6. Calvin Cycle also called the light Independent reactions
Location: Stroma of the chloroplast
What happens:
ATP and NADPH are used
H ions and CO2 combine to form PGA
PGA molecules combine to form Glucose
